My first thought is that over the distances that matter in space, the power requirements for a gravity cannon might be a little prohibitive for all but the largest installation, and making one man-portable would be a bit of a pain. Recoil might be an issue for one thing. Throw someone back at 1g, and the gun's going to throw the firer back at 1g too. It could be useful for a non-lethal stunning effect, especially firing at accelerations capable of knocking someone down or stumbling them.
Who they're headhunted by, also depends on who they're already working for. There're other research groups out in Fenspace aside from Stellvia and TSAB, some of which we haven't heard much from yet. On a meta-level, I mean, there're no stories about them but they're on the wiki. There're also plenty of nastier people who might well be interested in grabbing the Mad for whatever secrets she holds.
That might actually make for an interesting thriller story, come to think of it.
